Ms. Dancing Make-Up (Stranger 17/100)
My second stranger from the dance contest. Sadly there's no story behind it.
Realized the dancers have a special make up, most probably to emphasize their eyes and as a stranger aware "photographer" I am always on alert for eyes.
This lady was walking around the dressing rooms and it was obvious she was trying to find something. Most of the time I try to find strangers that are alone and I feel more anxious when I try to approach a group of people. She has a friend with her and I didn't ask for quite a time.
Long story short, I approached her, ask to take a couple of images and then I realized both she and her friend don't speak English. Then the usual sign language kicked in and showing the camera cleared everything.
There weren't much of a background alternative and most of the walls were painted white. I placed her in front of the wall (and the bathroom) and tried to include the locker behind to spice up things a little and to add some contrast.
As I told earlier, I do not have a name as it wasn't possible to communicate. As far as I can understand, she might be from Bulgaria, Russia etc.
This picture is #17 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
